Well I have to say, at least you tried much better than "I don't like this for some reason, change it back to the way it used to be"

Re: He Changed It And Now It Sucks: Character Design

It's because it's very difficult to find a balance with the compromised eyes. On tomorrow's comic I'm going to give all the cats almond shaped eyes and see how that works.

Re: You know what Rick?

I could also be incredibly surreal about the whole thing and have one coming with a bunch of children in it, all of which are not facing the camera, down to the child in the middle, who has an apple floating in front of his face

Re: He Changed It And Now It Sucks: Character Design

I have been thinking about it, and my thought it that I really should go full cat eye (like Fiddler) or otherwise not, because trying to have a compromise has really been difficult when I should just be working on facial structure (which has gotten a bit sloppy again)

Re: He Changed It And Now It Sucks: Character Design

Excuse me, but cats are difficult to draw, and I don't want to spend all afternoon on a single comic. I am still going to work on improving the cat designs but it's challenging: One of the biggest problems with drawing comics is consistency. It's not that I had to draw Max, but I had to draw Max twi...

Games in the anthro category are rather sparse. Though now, I'm wondering why Ratchet and Clank Search for Booty wasn't on the recommended list; the scores for that were at least decent . . .

The second part of my reworking Housepets is that I'm going to start overtly scripting the thing. Up until now, for the most part, I have generally had an outline of the story arc that I'm doing and then just running with it, usually working out the tweaks in the dialogue during the two-three hours ...
